Thanks Antonio. I've managed nearly 4 weeks sans alcohol though the blubber dividend hasn't been as good as I'd hoped. Well, I'm about 10 lbs / 4 kg down but this is nothing to write home about. I may have to consider exercise.
I mentioned the possibility of Almeria 17 to M this evening and she seemed reasonably positive about the idea.
